Hi dear, I am from Nepal, 60 years male and am under hemodialysis since 2 years back. For the first year I was more centralized in myself and much concerned how much hemodialysis was safe. I met people under dialysis for 8 years to even 12 years. I even met few people come back a year or two after successful kidney transplant. Then , I used to think this is OK, my life expectancy was not more than 18 years then. But this winter I witnessed 4 critical deaths at my dialysis centre, which left me more unsafe and worried. Now I also am infected with HCV+ at this moment. I am a diabetic patient since 2001, Three years back I had a minor hemorrhage There is only one centre in my place where i can dialyze. So in a way I am handicapped, can not travel. Now something came up my mind, if I could find a volunteer Donner in India, the hospital fee is actually affordable. Considering all my health condition is it possible for me to perform transplant. If you see it possible please advise. Thank you. Regards. Nero

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?
Male | 50
Lab tests help doctors check health issues. Your uncle might need tests like HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (heart health), and cardiac markers (irregular heartbeats). With kidney disease, creatinine levels usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swelling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function closely while treating diabetes, heart conditions, and other problems.

Hello Sir, my grandmother is suffering from kidney disease. I want to ask that when it is necessary to transplant a kidney and how long does a kidney transplant patient survive?
As per my understanding, you are looking for the renal transplant. Renal transplant should not be an issue. But it is a major procedure therefore patient's overall health, associated comorbidities, patient's age, weighing benefits over risk are some of the factors to be considered. You need to have a qualified donor who was selected from donor's list. There is an entire protocol to match with donor. Patient's fitness will be decided by nephrologist and his team. Also lifestyle changes, emotional support, counselling of patient and family to deal with the disease will improve the quality of life. Please consult Nephrologists in Mumbai, or in any other city.
